Matchup for G71 - Tigers @ Astros

The Astros welcome the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers to Minute Maid Park for a three-game set. The Tigers are 41-31, with a five game lead over the Twins, and are 18-21 on the road this season. They've won their last seven games, including sweeps of the Brewers and Cubs.

Tonight the Astros get to see one of the game's best pitchers, and send the guy who may or may not be the ace of the staff to meet him.

Wandy Rodriguez

Who knows what to expect from Wandy lately. He's turned in great performances in two of his last four outings, and stunk up the joint in the other two.

Last three starts:

Wandy gave up only one home run in his first eleven starts of the season, and has given up nine in his last four. That's disconcerting.
